eonsolation of Israel --"May I see the
consolation of Israeli" was a common
Jewish formula, and a prayer for the
advent of the Messiah was daily used.

Topic—Spiritual illumination.
I. Was granted unto Simeon.
IL Was 'beetowed on. Anna.
Was granted unto Simeon. We
have a very short biography of Simeon,
giving a concise and exact amount of
the whole man, his mane, his abode, his
character, hie faith and his spieitual
standing. His devout spirit adorned
his justice and his just spirit strength-
ened his devotion, He wos just in his
character before men and devout in his
diameter before God. In him we have
a lesson of trust of New Testament
believer. His song is the Wet note of
the psalmody of the Old Testament.
This song give% us a glimpse of the man
himself, for in it his habitual beliefs,
convictions and hopes rise to their high-
est and most confident expression. Sim-
eon combined the three characteristic.s
of the Old Testament piety, justice, fear
of God and longing expectancy. The
Holy Spirit was upon him, and by that
same Spirit the divine answer to his
heart's longing was communicated unto
him. All the expectation, desire, hope
and assurance of better things, which
have meved the heart 'of man, seemed
to have been embodied in the waiting
Sinaeon. The hymn is a thanksgiving for
spiritual blessinor ; for a divine light,
which had been planted in the soul and
which bad some to its meridan after
much patience and long waiting. Sim-
eon saw not only the Savior, the author
Of salvation, but with the prophet's eye,
he saw salvation accomplished and so
regarded the infant Jesus as the pledge
of an accomplished fact. It was the •
whole if mankind that Simeon gave as a
retinue to the child which he held in his
arms. It has been observed that by the
side of every hiimiliation connected with
the humanity of the Messiah, the glory
of his divinity was also made to shine
forth. After having declared the faith-
fulness of God to himself, in causing
him to beheld Christ, Siraeon next cele-
brated the mercy of God in bestowing
his invaluable gift of a Sa,vioue upon the

Mary To the proohecies whieh Simeon
addressed to Mary concerning her divine
Son he added one relating to heraelf.
He gave a hint of Gethsemane and of
Calvary, the first announcement that
the 'nay of the holy child must be the
way of sorrow, the first foreshadowing
of the passion found in the New Testa-
ment. Mary's joy was too great at that
moment to be deatroyed by his wends..
It was only chastened by a shade of im-
pending sorrow. But the youthful Mary
grew inwardly older and more mature
as Simeon lifted up before her the veil
hanging upon the future. By joy and
by the shadow of sorrow she was raised
from the maiden to the thoughtful wo-
dopart—The word "Lord" is here used in man, who kept all these things and
tho sense of "master' to correspond with
the word "servant," The song of Sim -
,eon ha an expression of his supreme eat-
isfeetien in realizing bis highest hopes.
He was ready to depart 'ince he had
seen the Lord. "Though Simeon," says
Clarke, "means his death, yet the thing
itself is not mentioned; for death has
not only lost its sting, but its name ale,
to those who have, even by faith, seen
the Lord's aoointed." Acoordiog to thy
word—The promise is mentioned in verse
20, and. is now fulfilled. 30. Mine eyes
have seen the salvation—Simeon had
Reran,- s'een the infant Saviour. The
word rendered nsalvation" •Melones, not
the nleesiah only, but the whole plan for
the •deliverance of the world from the
cloininion of Satan. He saw Christ, and,
eceing him, he saw the fulfilment of the
prophecies pertaining to his nature and
his work. Jesus brought the news and
promise of salvation, he made an atone
-
'tient for sin, he invites all to obtain sal-
vation and. he work e out the salvation
in us by the operation of the Holy
Spirit.
31. Which tnott bast prepared—In Rev.
xiii, 8 we read of "the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world." The Plan
of salvation was a long Lime in unfolding
as inen view it. The eyetetn of sacrifices
of the patriarehs and of the Mosaic law,
together with the various rites and cere-
monies, Pointed to "the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sins of the
world" (John i. 29). The salvation men-
tioned was rapidly appearing. Both John,
the forerunner, and Christ, the Saviour,
had appeared and had been recognized in
their respective officets. Before the face
of all peoele—In the presence of the
people, publicly. 32. To lighten the Gen-
tiles—The prophecies concerning Christ
represent His as coming to bring ealva-
tion to all nations. See Pia. xeviii. 2, 3;
Ise. xlii. 6; xlix. 0. The covering that
enveloped the Gentiles is taken away in
Christ (Isa. xxv. 7). The glory of Thy
people Isreel—Christ would be to the
true Israel a glorious fulfilment of their
hopes and desire. He firet catne to
them, but His IniSeiOn. included the en-
tire world.
33. MarvelIed--Joseph and Mary had
many thing e already kept in their hearts,
and Simeon's Prophecy added still more

the Lamb of God who was to become
an offering for the whole world.
II. Was beetowed on Anna. Before
the day of Pentecost was fully come,
there were tokens of it in the prophetic
flashes which ehone out from the souls
of Simeon end Anna. She had lived
through the long, sad period of war, eon -
quest and oppreseion which had intensi-
fied in every Jewish heart the yearning
for national deliverance by the promised
Messiah. Deepest in Anna's soul was
the longing for the redemption promised.
She dwelt not so moth upon the thouelit
of consolation as upon redemption. The
seemingly hopeless exile of her own
tribe, the political state of Judea, its
condition, eocial, moral and religious, all
kindled irt her deep, earnest longing for
the time of promised redemption. Her
soul quiekly caught the epiritual illum-
ination which poesessed Simeon and
which was expressed in his song and
prophecy. She.knew to whom such news
would be welcome and she devoutly de -
dared to them the glad tidings of the
Redeemer's appearance on earth, in the
infant Jesus. T. R. A.

COME TO CANADA, KAISER'SBIRTHDAY
Because of Immigration
Terror on Ellis Island,
Berlin, Jan. 22.—The Voseische Zeitting
publiehee a, violent attack on the "Amer.
lean immigration incntsition," which is
alleged to be becoming more cruel and
relentless day by day.
The ease of Mrs. Pettin Kea, de-
eeribed as the wife of a NOW York bank
-
et, is cited as a claesie example of the
practice in vogue on Ellis island. It is
charged that she and her two sons were
prevented from rejoining her husband on
American soil because the eldest boy
wore a glass eye. The latest ueere is
1 that she is still a, prisoner 017 the island.
The Vossieche -Zeitung's contributor
declares that the decrease in the limn
gration to the United States is due Pri-
marily to the reign of terror enthroned
on Ellis Wood, and that thousands of
Paeropean emigrants, who ordinarily dis-
embark at New York and Boston have
been diverted to Canada and th'e Ar-
gentine through fear of an inquisition
end arbitrary expulsion.

the Government is waiting for the re-
ports of its exPorte to know just what
part of, this sum nas been wasted and
what part Cali be saved. without altering
the plans of the arehitect.
The investigattna turned up informa-
tion that has resulted in the arrest of
the chief mason, who is charged with
having carried away enough building
material to enable him to erect a few
private residences for himself. He de-
nies the charge.
Within the first week of the year the
investigators claim to have found proof
of frauds amounting to 200,000 pesos.
They allege that supposed solid. cement
parts speeified in the contracts have
been made with gravel cores, and. the
contractors paid $15.50, Mexican cur-
rency, a meter, when the material sup-
plied cost about $4.75. A division with
those "higher un" is hinted at. Carrara
marble, which figures largely in the eon-
struetion of' the building, appears to
have been sold and resold to the Gov-
. eminent.
But there is another problem connect-
ed with the theatre that is worrying
the Government officials more than that
of tbe suspected graft. The building is
sinking. In spite of the honest opinions
of skilled and experienced engineers, it
appears some one made a mistake in
his calculations.
The building covers the greater part
of a block. The subsoil of the capital
'is the bed of an ancient lake, and at
a depth of six or eight feet, water is
encountered and below nothing but mud
for a great denth. The engineers de-
cided to utilize tile floating base, con-
structed of layers of steel beams joined
in one great bed of cement. On this
steel and concrete base sunk twenty
feet on some below the surface the
structure was -reared. The theory of
. the engineers was that if it sank at
all, it would do so uniformly, and that
scores, possibly hundreds, of years
would Pass before tbe eubsidenee was
perceptible.
The following figures just taken show
how far from correct the calculation
was: The southeast corner has sunk a
trifle more than half a meter; the
northwest corner has gone down 1.0825
meters; the nertheost corner has sunk
0.818 and the southwest (tomer 0.833
meter. Every earthquake has caused
the atrueture to settle a bit lower, and
the shock of June 7 lowered one part
of the building 25 millimeters.
A commission of engeneers has now
been instructed to make an examina-
tion and report the best method of pre-
venting further damage.
President Madero is a friend of the
poor, but not of the "poor man's
drink." Through one of his cabinet
posts he has promulgated an order that
hereafter dealene in pulque must close
their. doorts at 6 p, m. instead of 7
o'clock, and on Sundays and feast days
the closing hour will be noon instead.
of 2 p. m. The tax on "pulkue shops"
has also 'been increased some 33 per
cent.
late Rear Admiral Evans prob-
ably never knew how near he came to
being.enallenged to a prize fight during
the visit to Mexico which he made soon
after he was retired. He had been
heralded as "Fighting Bob," and upon
his advent his exploits formed the one
topic of conversation in sporting as
well ae in other circles.
Among those who listened was a lo
cal aspirant for pugilistic honors who
has since learned more of the game in
the United States. Hie knowledge el
affairs was limited, and it didnot or-
icui to him that the title of "Fighting
Bob" could have been earned outsid
the prize ring. The talk aroused his
jealousy, and finally summoning all his
eourage, he confided to his friends that
he /lad determined to have it out with
the foreigner as soon as a bout could
be arranged, The joke was pureed
around the capital before the defender
of Mexico's sporting honor was let in-
to int%
Tsisters and a brother of Mexi-
co's president expect to sail before the
end of January from San Francisco for
Japan, from where they will visit before
their return via NOW York, almost ev-
ery capital of Europe and Asia. Emi-
lio Madero, who gained prominence dur-
ing the revolution by personally leading
an army of insurgents, has been named
to present to the Mikado the thanks of
this tountry for Japan's partieipatiou

the Government is quite apprehensive
over the situation iu Ulster. The situa-
tion, Sir Edward thinks, is perhaps quite
as threatening as appears on the surfaee
or in the despatches. There is, he says,
a spirit of activity in the ranks of the
Conservative party of England, and the
acceptance of the Party leadership by
Bonen Law appears to have brought
considerable confidence to all sections of
the , Opposition.
Money conditions, Sir Edward. says, are
favorable in London, and Canada con-
tinuea to occupy a front place in the
eyes of the British public.

sort, the Dueneee Souphie of Holuenberg,
intend to pay a visit to Berlin, where
they will be preeent at the Emperor's
birthday celebration of Jan. 27.
This is the first time that a member
of the Austrian imperial family has loft
Vienna to take part in a birthday cele-
bration of the German Imperial family,
and. greet politieal signifieance is at-
taelied to tide departure from custom.
It is believed that the visit of the
Archduke is intended to dispel the mis-
trust of the German public toward Aus-
tria, which has existed sinee the Moroc-
can crisis, and the Emperor's diesatisfee-
tion with the lack of support Germany
received from her ally at that time.
Bowmanville despatch: Mr. Fred, Reh-
der, of the Bowma.nville Foundry Com-
pany, lost his life by being sdalded to
death. Ile was fixing a pipe in the well
where the exhaust steam and water dis-
charge, when he slipped and fell into
eight feet of boiling water. He was as-
sisted out by a couple of workmen and
taken to his home, where he suffered
terrible agony until aboot 4 o'clock this
morning, when he,died. Mr. Rehder was
a son of Mr. C. Rehder, manager of the
Foundry Company, and was in his thirty-

GERMAN DEAL
Germany May Buy Portu-
al's African Possessions..
London, Jan. 22.—Dr, Sole; the new
German Colonial Secretary, is on his way
to London to discuss colonial questions
With the British authorities. This is
assumed in some quartere to foreshadow
an Anglo -German deal.
The Standard states that England can
have no objection to Germany acquiring
on business terms the rich West African
possession of Portugal, while the Ger-
man empire builders are convinced that
a magnificent opportunity of pushing
forward their schemes prr.lsents itself,
now that the question of the frontier
between Anglo and German Southwest
Africa is under discussion,
London, Jan 22. --Tho etatement in
The New York American that King
G-eorge and Queen Mary will go to
Canada in 1914 and possibly visit the
United States, is said here to be based
on pure conjecture.
, Thus far the only foundation for it
is an article in The Pall Mall Gazette
on contemplated Royal visits to con-
tinental countries, in which the writer
suggested that King George, after go-
ing to France and Germany, might
determine to extend his travels to the
Dominion across the Atlantic, in
which ease he would poseibl visit the
United State,
The Pad Mall Gazette, under its
new management, is rapidly earning
a, reputation for romancing, and its
suggestion of a Royal translantic
visit is not even regarded in the light
of "intelligent anticipation." of future
events.
